Spooky's Jeep Thread

#14
@ Darth.
so far the hardest part was removing the damaged sections because they were bent, pressure prevented bolts from turning, etc.

but once I got the bumper off, the crossmember mostly straight, and the rest removed it's just a simple matter of ordering new parts for the stuff that makes sense, and getting the rest from salvage.

I've never done anything like this before, not even remotely and it's proving easier than I expected going into it, everything makes sense, parts only go on one way, things fit together like puzzle pieces.

it's similar to building a computer only scaled up, even the electrical stuff is the same.

which I guess makes sense because all technology shares common designs with each other when you break it down to basics.

still progress is progress, and unfortunately we had another snow but tomorrow morning I'm going to be out there after work pulling off the clutch fan after unbolting it from one of the pulleys on the front of the engine.

this is the last part I need to remove for replacement.

here's an updated parts list with costs.

Clutch driven drivers side fan. (amazon order)
New Fan Blade Radiator Cooling For Jeep Cherokee 1994-2000 FITS CH3112111 52028331 $37.06
Hayden Automotive 2736 Premium Fan Clutch $33.24

Electric passenger side fan.
620-001 Radiator And Condenser Fan $42.99

Fan shrouds and mounts. (salvage yard?)

Radiator and mounts.
Prime Choice Auto Parts RK485 Aluminum Radiator 55.26
Mounts (Salvage)

AC condenser and mounts.
7-4895 Aluminum A/C AC Condenser Replacement For 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 Jeep Cherokee 97-01 $49.99

Transmission cooler and mounts.
Hayden Automotive 403 Ultra-Cool Tube and Fin Transmission Cooler $28.80

grille.
Salvage? (I can possibly reuse the old one, it's mostly intact.)

bumper.
Salvage

Tool kit ($30)
Breaker bar ($8)
Socket size adapter ($3)
PB Blaster and WD40 ($17)

that's about where I'm at cost wise.

a total of about 405.34 including $100 in salvage, could be an extra $50.

then finally I need to consider maybe $80 to have the AC topped up.

so figure roughly $550 total to fix it myself.

a mechanic is $150 an hour around here, last time a body shop fixed a ding in my bumper it was going to come out to roughly $8000, just that the other guy's insurance cover it.

I think my plan is way better lol, and besides most would just tell me it's not worth it and to scrap it and buy a new one...

to hell with that!
